I confirmed that this happens with Evolution 3.22.6 and Outlook 2016. The culprit appears to be the tag Evolution uses to quote the original message:
<blockquote type="cite">[original message]</blockquote> I did a quick search for the type="cite" attribute and found very little about it other than it doesn't seem to be part of any standard that Outlook should be expected to adhere to. It was/is used by Thunderbird and has caused similar problems to the one you're experiencing (see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=183219). Does anyone know more about this type="cite" attribute and why Evolution uses it for quotes?
